    13,000 Stark Varg's now on order for delivery in 2023

    I never really bonded with my trials bike. really uncomfortable for my 6,3" frame and at almost twice the weight of the bike we weren't going to be great together. I tried, I can ride a unicycle and wheelie most bikes pretty well and I could do some cool stuff on it but in the end I just didn't...

    13,000 Stark Varg's now on order for delivery in 2023

    originally there was English trials and Scottish trials. English trials all happened in a certain area and is now called observed trials, Scottish trials combined enduro and English trials ie. compete in a trials section and then ride many miles to the next trials section. I don't know wether...

    YZ250F 2014 Build With QS 138 70H V3 Motor and 450A controller Part #1 and Part #2

I am the electric biker in my area, I have a Schwinn stingray 48v rear wheel drive, a 72v surron, alta mx, alta sm and a zero sr. all my friends who ride ask "why electric?" and I say"ride it" I don't have tracks near me so it's all woods and street riding for...

    13,000 Stark Varg's now on order for delivery in 2023

    first off...don't sell your bike, you will miss it. secondly NOTHING throws you to the ground harder or faster than a trials bike and they are very uncomfortable. finally sold my gasgas txt300pro, still hurts to walk when it rains! also just red that Polaris and zero are working...

    Alta - Stark rant

    I hope the Starks are awesome but the Altas are tried and true with a great knowledge base here and they are a better bike than I am a rider so I am sticking with alta , at least until one of the big 4 gets it right. still keep the Altas though.

    Tempted to sell, kickstand woes

    better late than never sooo...I have an alta mx and a surron. the surron has about $10k into it with brakes, suspension, adult sizing, tires and battery and controller upgrades and compared to the alta IT SUCKS!!. if you are 5'4" or less and weigh about 120lbs you could ride the surron seriously...

    Which US companies sell basic liability insurance for the Alta?

    MY SM WAS INSURED THROUGH PROGRESSIVE BECAUSE STATE FARM COULDN'T FIND THE VIN BUT LATER CHANGED THEIR MIND AND INSURED ME, ALSO CHECK OUT DIRTLEGAL.COM THEY CAN GET YOU TITLED, REGISTERED AND PLATED IN ANOTHER STATE AND THEN JUST SWITCH EVERYTHING OVER TO YOUR STATE OR LEAVE IT

    ALTA SM NOT CHARGING,NO ERROR CODE, JUST SAYS"AC GROUND NOT DETECTED"

    my other option was to have the charging done off board via alta charger, luckily they found me a onboard charger, good luck, this forum seems to be all about the stark Varg and people selling their Altas to get a Varg. someone helpful will find you.

    General Do you miss using a clutch?

    OK...here's my take on it. a manual clutch would be simple to add from a design viewpoint, just put it in a jackshaft. how about left foot actuated clutch? it's got nothing to do anyway. as far as needing a clutch, the first time I dirt rode my alta I dug a hole and got stuck on the first steep...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I am not going for the Varg. my Alta mx is a better bike than I am a rider, but I did just purchase a 2022 zero SR, cool bike...no upgrades yet still getting familiar with it.

    First impressions, upgrades, and review of my new 2018 Alta MXR. This bike is AMAZING!

    I used to ride the pine barrens often..forked river, lacey road, stubbola and Clayton pits ,erial and the old action mountain park and manahawkin(bought by Sahara sand and closed down). seems that everyplace I rode is now off limits except Wharton if they're sponsoring an enduro. ended up...

    the bike ergonomics kinda worry me...

    F451 beat me to it. it looks like he just landed and is accelerating.plus of all the things about this bike I think the ergo's would be the simplest thing to change ie. different bars and it probably has adjustable footpegs and if not shouldn't be a difficult mod.

    Yamaha TY-E Trials

    why? why? why do you tease me like this? I just sold my gasgas txt300pro trials and thought I might be done with hitting the ground that hard ( not even a unicycle will throw you quicker than a trials bike)

    I am customer #1

    congrats. I hope it's all you wish for and I couldn't think of a better person for it to go to. years of experience with Alta and fast as hell. looking forward to your evaluations(but I won't take them too seriously until the new bike owner luster wears off.....soooo lets say second lap?)

    does the ex have an onboard charger or do you have an external charger? just wondering 'cause it's street legal.
